    I feel like they are rushing their products lately.
    They should've went with a Cortex-A15 SoC and a higher resolution display.

    Considering what the galaxy S3 and the Note II have, this should start with 32gb and have 64 and 128gb versions. Android 4.2 and a 1080p screen.

    I guess I am not buying any...... and yes they are rushing new models with no changes to them.

    Depending on the price of it, this can be a great buy.
    If it's priced against Nexus 7 and ipad mini then we can have a winner.

    The international version will have the phone function as well, this can be a great potential for me to get rid of my SGS3 and N7. hahaha... Imaging paying only $300 to get the "latest" mobile internet device that can also make occasional phone calls.

    No tablet should have less than 1080p. A15 also. Plenty of battery room here, this isn't a phone, but it has low-mid phone specs. Odd. Also low end should be 64GB this year on tablets. They seem to be pitching tablets that are DOA for perf and use. Is this a $200 tablet then ok I guess. Otherwise this is just too low all around. I can't wait to see a T4 10.1 tablet.

    I thought that Note is supposed to be Samsung's top-end stuff in a given form factor. Am I wrong or is there another reason for this tablet not being quite top-end?

    This is basically a Note 2 plus 2 more inches. If they're intending to compete in the $200 market with Google then this is quite nice.

    I guess we just need a price, to either clear this up or make us all ask who thought this up :) Like I said $200 ok, otherwise, they seem to have forgotten about $200 worth of hardware :) I thought note was top end too, so I'm confused. But without 64GB/128GB options it's totally ruled out for me. My min is 64GB this year since I plan to do some gaming on it and would like to store at least a few movies occasionally without always looking at space issues. Then again 32GB main is acceptable with SD slot I guess, but lack of 1080p and lowend soc is a deal breaker for me.
